As prices rise and the UK Government considers energy bill help once again, a new study warns that the country’s approach to energy support is structurally geared toward short-term crisis response rather than long-term solutions.This […]
Fusarium head blight (FHB) is a destructive disease of wheat that can reduce grain yields and contaminate grain with toxins harmful to humans and livestock. The disease threatens wheat production worldwide and poses ongoing challenges […]
An international research team has reported an artificial nociceptor system that captures the temperature-dependent threshold modulation of biological nociceptors. Published in Advanced Functional Materials under the title “Temperature-Modulated Threshold Response in a Volatile Memristor: Toward […]
A research team led by the University of Bern has decoded a mechanism by which an inconspicuous succulent regulates the uptake of carbon dioxide via the leaf surface so finely that it receives enough for […]
On August 13, 2003, a single transmission line near Cleveland, Ohio, sags into an overgrown tree limb and short circuits. Within minutes, nearby lines overload and trip one after another, triggering cascading failures across grids […]
As a promising clean energy source, hydrogen (H2) requires reliable safety monitoring. However, lacking a permanent dipole moment, it is “infrared-inactive” and cannot be effectively measured by conventional absorption-based techniques. Although Raman spectroscopy can provide […]
In a new study published in Science, Stanford computer scientists showed that artificial intelligence large language models are overly agreeable, or sycophantic, when users solicit advice on interpersonal dilemmas. Even when users described harmful or […]
Converting sugarcane waste to biofuel could become more environmentally friendly and cost-effective, thanks to a joint project at The University of Queensland and the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi. Ph.D. candidate Neethu Joshikumar has successfully […]
For years, Washington has been debating who gets to regulate cryptocurrency. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) says many tokens are securities, like stocks, and should fall under its authority. The Commodity Futures Trading Commission […]
Researchers have developed a holographic data storage approach that stores and retrieves information in three dimensions by combining three properties of light—amplitude, phase and polarization. By allowing more data to be stored in the same […]
